season six, episode four

all of the head of surgery doctors all sat in the conference room, "i know it hasn't been easy around here the last few weeks, and i know you want answers," their chief of surgery, richard webber stated, "but i'm afraid i don't have them, not just yet,"

alison looked over the conference at where her girlfriend sat in between dr bailey and another attending, "he brought us here to make himself feel good," derek whispered to both alison and mark.

where mark had been looking at the danish pastry for a while, "at least he sprung for a good danish," the plastic surgeon admitted when alison slapped mark's hand away, "know how many nurses got fired for that?" derek said clicking his pen.

their chief looked at them, "the mercy west staff will be arriving in three days, when they do, more cutbacks and more layoffs, and i need each and every one of you to step up and be leaders," their chief told them all, "and when i can answer your question, i will,"

the doctors all started to speak over another, "will we be losing more scrub nurses?" richard then hit his hand against the table, "if you'd like to make an appointment to talk about your concerns, we can," he reminded them, "what about my burn centre?" mark then questioned.

the doctors all spoke over another as derek leaned forwards getting himself and alison both a plate when putting a danish onto alison's plate whose stomach went uneasy at the pastry in front of her.

"stevens,"

alison thomas came towards the women with a chart in her hand, "i have something, if you're interested," she stated when looking up from the chart, "i'm interested," cristina yang said when looking at the surgeon, "an mvc came in a while back, during his work up, i found a abdominal sarcoma," izzie nods her head, "since then i've been following owen hunt's advice, and he came back today with his third one."

alison looked to the blonde, "i wondered if you could scrub in, if you feel ready?" she questioned to what izzie smiled at, "i'm ready," she stated as cristina also said, "i'm ready,"

"he's in pre-op."

izzie walked away as alison was left with cristina who stared at her, "you know i need a surgery," the korean women stated when alison was about to walk past her, "i don't play favourites, yang," she told the surgeon, "people are afraid to work with stevens, like she's gonna break, it's not right, she's a good surgeon, she has a way with patients, and a light touch," cristina furrowed her eyebrows, "you want nice? i can be nice to a dying husk,"

alison then makes a face, "yeah, not a light touch," she then responded walking away from the wannabe cardio surgeon.

alison looked up from the chart she was working on at the nurse's station when seeing cristina yang lean into an attending, "i can be hardcore into anything you want," she replied to the attending who then saw alison's hard stare walking away from the surgeon.

"are you whoring yourself you for surgeries?" she questioned the cardio resident, "oh, shut up," cristina said to alison who only smiled, "you forced me into it," cristina replied watching as the orthopaedic surgeon walked further away passing meredith who went to the cardio resident.

the orthopaedic surgeon sat with the residents at their lunch break after her and izzie's surgery went well, "why are we eating lunch in a room full of diseased organs?" izzie questioned as the head of orthopaedic surgery sat with them not having her lunch since she was having it when arizona was having her lunch break, "we are hiding from lexie and her big, sad, i love my daddy eyes," meredith said to them, "because i can't take it anymore," meredith added.

"wait, is little grey not a match? damn! there goes my transplant," cristina said when karev looked at her, "nice try, it was my transplant," he replied eating his crisps.

alison looked to meredith, "are you gonna get tested?" and when the married women shook her head, alison nods her head, "i barely know the guy," meredith added looking at them, "you might as well get tested,"

"you could regret it, if you don't do it," alex added to cristina's comment looking at the surgeon, "he might be a drunk deadbeat, but he gave you the ultimate gift," cristina said to her best friend, "the gift for life," alex added with a half smile, "you guys are sick," izzie laughed, "you really are sick, don't listen to them, mer, they just want a surgery,"

cristina nods her head, "mama needs to cut," izzie looked to her husband where on alex's neck there's dirt, "babe, you got some dirt on your neck, right there," izzie responded looking at her husband's neck, "that's not dirt, that's a tick," alison then said, "get it off me,"

alison's pager went off where she looked down seeing that it was her girlfriend paging her, "i'm going," she responded to where she looked at cristina, "there's your chance, yang, you can help karev," she said before walking away from the group.

"hi—"

the orthopaedic surgeon smiled when she sees her blonde headed girlfriend, "hey," arizona wakes closer to her girlfriend who just exited the room, "what were you doing in there?" arizona questioned her girlfriend, "meredith was avoiding lexie since little grey isn't a match for her father's liver transplant," she told her girlfriend who took her hand, "ready to go to the park?"

"let's go,"

the two arrived at the park where their view was seattle, "i hate when people who don't even live here say seattle weather sucks," arizona admitted as alison ate her salad, "those people suck," the blonde stated with alison smiling at her girlfriend, "how's your day been?"

alison questioned her girlfriend who looked out at the view again, "i lost my favourite scrub nurse yesterday, anne," she told her girlfriend who frowned, "she's a single mother, she's supporting three kids, and now she's out of a job," arizona told her girlfriend, "and this morning, a ten month old hemorraged while i was in her chest and i didn't have my favourite scrub nurse," arizona told her, "i had to actually look up and ask for a mesh wrap because the new nurse didn't know me,"

alison looked at her, "anne knew all of my moves before i even made them," she stated, "and it felt terrible to be in the or without her," alison looked between arizona's eyes, "i was really looking forward to spending thirty minutes in the park with my girlfriend, cause this merger thing? it's important to all of us," alison nods her head, "sorry, i—"

the two women looked at one another, "do you think callie's gonna get her old job back, cause i need her as my attending," she told her girlfriend, "i can't have millie or even adam as my attendings cause they're still learning, callie knows things that i know," she replied to her girlfriend whose hand went on her back, "i know," arizona said rubbing her girlfriend's back who put her head onto her shoulder.
